Lying is fun-damental

Consortium examines the question: was Bush lying, or mistaken.

And there is only one possible conclusion.

No objective observer, however, could look at the known facts, match them against Bush’s historical claims, and conclude anything other than that Bush is lying, that he is consciously deceiving the American people.

One also might draw a secondary conclusion: that Bush is sure he can get away with lying because neither his defenders nor the mainstream U.S. media will call him to account.
